In a strong year for British film, Philomena, 12 Years A Slave and Gravity compete with American Hustle for the Best Film Award.

12 Years A Slave, which stars Chiwetel Ejiofor and Michael Fassbender, has received ten nominations, including Best Director for Steve McQueen and Best Actor for Ejiofor.

Philomena, which sees Judi Dench nominated for Best Actress, has earned four nominations, including Best Film and Best Adapted Screenplay.

Despite its predominantly American cast, the majority of Gravity’s crew were from the UK, where the film was shot.
